Pros

Sales is sales. It's hard work and ultimately you are driven by the money you make. That said, FDM did a great job of creating a good working environment while I was there. You create good bonds with your colleagues of all levels. They really do try to foster a tight-knit community and you are always given opportunities to have fun and celebrate achievements, big and small. They take care of your development. Despite it being a busy sector to work in, there are clear paths for development and you have regular contact with team leads and management to assess and understand their expectations of you, how are you are doing, and what can be done to improve and how they can assist you. Great location if you're in the London office too!

Cons

Less an issue with the company than it is with Sales. It simply wasn't the right job for me at the age I was. Sales is competitive, money-focused, and revolves around data and targets. As such, you can feel a bit like a clog in a big, grinding machine. An extremely wide variety of people from different backgrounds thrived and excelled at FDM when I was there. It simply wasn't the job for me.

Pros

It is a job that pays.

Cons

They will promise you opportunities that don't exist. The company they contract you to will promise you work that you will not be assigned. I was a Java Consultant with a masters degree in Math and certificate in full stack and I was shoved into a manual testing position that required zero coding and constantly dangled automation in front of my face. When I was asked to look at Selenium, I studied it in some of the copious amounts of downtime i had and was reprimanded during the next meeting for 'wasting company time'. I moved from Texas to New Jersey for my first position. After contracts with the company were terminated, I was pulled off my assignment only to be abruptly fired for "lack of geoflexibility" despite willingness to move to several places they do business including NYC and even Denver. There is no accountability from them as the only response they give is "the decision is final". There is no way to appeal a blatant lie. Their company has no integrity and side with business majors over people that know how chemicals and physics and electrical components work just seem like bad life decisions. They will say you can reapply but they won't hire you. They'd full of it at every angle.
